Hemingway admired Ring Lardner's writings as a teenager and he actually used his Lardner's name while writing articles at times for his school's newspaper.
Lardner wrote some pretty good short stories.
Yea that was a chuckle; at the tim I was pre-occupied with the inaccrochable Doc. I was unable to recall the person I wanted to name.
The name I couldn't think of previously, Ring Laudner (sp?), a journalist with one of the papers of the day, was the author Hemingway said he most tried to style himself after.
